Fidel Castro's really big lie

About

Soon after seizing power, TV showman Ed Sullivan went to Cuba and landed an interview with el hijo de puta maximo himself, Fidel Castro.

Abajo Fidel has dug up a key moment from the interview in which Sullivan asks Castro to reveal the true nature of what he intends for Cuba.

Castro responded with a lie that has been stinging Cuba and Cubans for more than 47 years.

Watch the video here.
